Day 15

7 AM start. A blur streaked through the sky. I glumly skulked to the window to take a peek. It was… she… she stopped at mansion 6’s front door!

I hurriedly threw on yesterday’s wrinkled shirt and a pair of pants and raced for the entrance. Thank god I had brushed my teeth already! I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to have super senses and have to suffer other peoples’ morning breath.

As I made it to the wide opening of the antechamber, I saw Zelda and Lady Z walking into that side room. There was some heated discussion actually… but I couldn’t make it out. I stood there, on the grand balcony, for five minutes, before I realized what I was doing. I was literally trying to eavesdrop on my employer and the world’s greatest superheroine.

What an idiot I am! In a nervous panic, I shuffled back down the hallway, bare feet dragging along the lush carpet, and flopped at my desk. I resisted the urge to go back out there. I failed.

As sneakily as I could manage (and the carpet helped!), I slowly made my way back outside. The conversation seemed to be coming to an end. Maybe, just maybe, I could…

The office door opened, a blur streaked by, and the only thing I could register was the sound of the front door of the mansion opening and closing.

Ugh!
